"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6968\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is no question that we must have the proper regulations in place and that the use of these products must be based on sound research. As well, the use of the products must be in accordance with the recommendations on how they be used. I think that is one of the difficulties with the use of herbicides and pesticides on lawns for cosmetic purposes. The training is not there as it is in the agricultural sector. We know we have to absolutely meet the exact requirements and not apply an overdose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6969\" data-originallang=\"en\">Prince Edward Island has had this fight for a long time. We have seen the misconceptions about the potato industry and its use of products, the necessary to use these products.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6970\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am worried about the word \u201ccosmetic\u201d and what the motion would mean over the long haul. I see this as the tip of the iceberg, which will leave the impression that there is not sound science around these products. Could the member explain to us exactly what they mean? Where is the limit of cosmetic use of a product? What is the limit and where do we draw the line?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6968\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il ne fait aucun doute qu'il faut une r\u00e9glementation ad\u00e9quate et que l'utilisation de ces produits doit reposer sur des recherches \u00e9clair\u00e9es. De plus, l'utilisation doit aller de pair avec les recommandations. Je pense que c'est une des difficult\u00e9s li\u00e9es \u00e0 l'utilisation des herbicides et des pesticides \u00e0 des fins esth\u00e9tiques sur les pelouses. Les gens qui appliquent ces produits n'ont pas de formation, contrairement \u00e0 ceux du secteur agricole. Nous savons qu'il faut suivre les directives \u00e0 la lettre et ne pas appliquer une surdose. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6969\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette question suscite la controverse depuis longtemps \u00e0 l'\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard. Il y a eu toutes sortes d'id\u00e9es fausses au sujet de l'industrie de la pomme de terre, de son utilisation de ces produits et de la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'en utiliser. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6970\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le mot \u00ab esth\u00e9tique \u00bb m'inqui\u00e8te, de m\u00eame que les effets de la motion \u00e0 long terme. Je pense qu'il s'agit de la pointe de l'iceberg. On aura l'impression que les donn\u00e9es scientifiques relatives \u00e0 ces produits ne sont pas rigoureuses. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait-elle nous expliquer la signification de tout cela? O\u00f9 commence et o\u00f9 finit l'aspect esth\u00e9tique de l'utilisation d'un produit? Quelle est la limite? O\u00f9 tracer la ligne?</p>"
